Hook Forms take all the hassle out of web forms. Move spam filtering to the backend, out of the way of users. Never spend time configuring mail services, fixing honeypots or deleting bogus email. Best of all, Hook Forms are always up to date.

As of now, when the form submits, Hook Forms encrypts and packages data for validation without a post action. Anything visible to the front-end is open to spammers & hackers, so we limit that as much as possible.
This type of question has come up a couple times, and we're narrowing down the best way to handle these scenarios (sign-ups, comments, etc.) without opening any security holes.
I'd love for you to email me at [email protected] with the flow that would work best for you, no matter how hypothetical. It will help us finalize these scenarios to make the best possible experience.
Thanks!
Ideally I wouldn't have to change a thing. Just add a Rubygem and have my forms automatically be spam-proof. I think it's worth exploring Stripe Checkout, how they authorise credit card charges and then submit a form to the website it's embedded on. You might be able to do something similar. When someone tries to submit a form check for spam and if it's all good you include a secure token in the form submission that tells my application the posted content is safe. If the token is omitted the posted content could be discarded or marked for review.
YES. We have been thinking the same things, especially in regard to payment forms and things of that nature.
Thanks for the thoughts. Keep an eye on us!
